Izaga 23
1 Nxa uhlala phansi usidla lombusi, nanzelela ukuthi kuyini okuphambi kwakho,
Kana ukagara pakudya pamwe chete nomubati, nyatsocherechedza zviri pamberi pako,
2 ungazifaki ingqamu entanyeni nxa uhugwa yibuhwaba.
uise banga pahuro kana uri munhu wamadyo.
3 Ungahawukeli izibiliboco zakhe ngoba lokho kudla kuyakhohlisa.
Usapanga zvokudya zvake zvinonaka nokuti zvokudya izvozvo zvinonyengera.
4 Ungazihlukuluzi uzigugise ngomsebenzi uzama inotho; hlakanipha wazi ukuzikhuza.
Usazvionza nokuda kuwana pfuma; iva nouchenjeri hunoita kuti uzvibate.
5 Ungayibona manje inotho, masinyane isinyamalele, ngoba ngempela izamila impiko iphaphele emkhathini njengengqungqulu.
Kungoti tarisei papfuma, wanei yaenda, nokuti zvirokwazvo inomera mapapiro igobhururuka ichienda kudenga segondo.
6 Ungakudli ukudla komuntu oncitshanayo, ungazihawukeli izibiliboco zakhe;
Usadya zvokudya zvomunhu anonyima, kana kupanga zvokudya zvake zvinonaka;
7 ngoba yena uhlezi ebalisa ngendleko. Angathi kuwe, “Dlana unathe,” kodwa kungasuki enhliziyweni yakhe.
nokuti munhu uya anongofunga chete mutengo wazvo. Anoti kwauri, “Idya ugonwa,” asi mumwoyo make asingadi.
8 Uzakuhlanza okuncane lokho okudlileyo ube udlalise amazwi akho okubonga.
Ucharutsa zvishoma izvozvo zvawadya, uye unenge watambisa mashoko ako nokumutenda.
9 Ungakhulumi lesithutha ngoba sizakweyisa inhlakanipho yamazwi akho.
Usataura nebenzi, nokuti richashora uchenjeri hwamashoko ako.
10 Ungasusi ilitshe lakudala elomngcele loba uzithathele amasimu ezintandane,
Usabvisa dombo romuganhu wakare kana kupinda paminda yenherera,
11 ngoba uMhlengi wazo ulamandla; uzakuba ngumeli wazo aphikisane lawe.
nokuti Mudziviriri wavo ane simba; iye achavarwira pamhaka yavo newe.
12 Nikela inhliziyo yakho ekufundisweni lezindlebe zakho emazwini olwazi.
Isa mwoyo wako kumurayiro nenzeve dzako kumashoko ezivo.
13 Ungayekeli ukumlaya umntwana; ukumtshaya ngoswazi akuyikumbulala.
Usarega kuranga mwana; ukamuranga neshamhu, haafi.
Murange neshamhu ugoponesa mweya wake kubva parufu. (Sheol h7585)
15 Ndodana yami, aluba inhliziyo yakho ihlakaniphile, inhliziyo yami layo izathokoza;
Mwanakomana wangu, kana mwoyo wako wakachenjera, ipapo mwoyo wangu uchafara;
16 ingaphakathi yami izajabula lapho izindebe zakho zikhuluma okulungileyo.
mukatikati mangu muchapembera kana miromo yako ichitaura zvakarurama.
17 Inhliziyo yakho mayingahawukeli izoni, kodwa hlala utshisekela ukwesaba uThixo.
Usarega mwoyo wako uchichiva vatadzi, asi nguva dzose shingairira kutya Jehovha.
18 Ngeqiniso lihle ikusasa lakho, lethemba lakho kaliyikucitshwa.
Zvirokwazvo ramangwana rako rine tariro, uye tariro yako haingaparadzwi.
19 Lalela, ndodana yami, uhlakaniphe, ubeke inhliziyo yakho endleleni elungileyo.
Teerera, mwanakomana wangu, ugova nouchenjeri, uye uchengete mwoyo wako panzira yakarurama.
20 Ungahlangani leziminzi zewayini labazitika ngenyama,
Usabatana navaya vanonwa waini zhinji, kunyange vaya vanokara nyama,
21 ngoba izidakwa lezihwaba ziba ngabayanga, ukuwozela kwazo kuzembese amadabudabu.
nokuti zvidhakwa nevane madyo vachava varombo, uye hope dzichavapfekedza mamvemve.
22 Lalela uyihlo owakuletha emhlabeni, njalo ungeyisi unyoko nxa eseluphele.
Teerera kuna baba vako, ivo vakakubereka, uye usazvidza mai vako kana vachinge vakwegura.
23 Thenga iqiniso ungalithengisi; zuza ukuhlakanipha lokuzikhuza lokuzwisisa.
Tenga zvokwadi urege kuzoitengesa; uwane uchenjeri, kuzvibata nokunzwisisa.
24 Uyise womuntu olungileyo uyathokoza kakhulu; lowo olendodana ehlakaniphileyo uyathokoza ngayo.
Baba vomunhu akarurama vane mufaro mukuru; uyo ane mwanakomana akachenjera anofadzwa naye.
25 Sengathi uyihlo lonyoko bangathokoza; sengathi lowo owakuzalayo angajabula!
Baba vako namai vako ngavafare; mai vakakubereka ngavafare kwazvo!
26 Ndodana yami, ngipha inhliziyo yakho, amehlo akho ahlale ezindleleni zami,
Mwanakomana wangu, ndipe mwoyo wako uye meso ako ngaananʼanidze nzira dzangu,
27 ngoba isifebe singumgodi otshonayo lomfazi olibele lendlela ungumthombo oyingozi.
nokuti chifeve igomba rakadzika, uye mukadzi asingazvibati itsime rakamanikana.
28 Uyacathamela njengesigebenga, andise amadoda angathembekanga.
Segororo anohwandira, anowedzera vasina kutendeka pakati pavarume.
29 Ngubani ohlaba umkhosi? Ngubani olosizi na? Ngubani otshingayo? Ngubani olensolo na? Ngubani omahluzuhluzu ngeze? Ngubani omehlo abomvu gebhu na?
Ndiani ane nhamo? Ndiani akasuwa? Ndiani anokakavara? Ndiani anonyunyuta? Ndiani ane mavanga pasina mhaka? Ndiani ane meso akatsvuka?
30 Yilabo abalibala ngewayini, abahamba bedinga inzwisa yewayini elidibanisiweyo.
Vaya vanogara pawaini, vanoenda kundoravira makate ewaini yakavhenganiswa.
31 Ungahugwa liwayini ulibona libomvu, nxa likhazimula enkomitshini, lapho lisehla kamnandi!
Usatarisa waini kana yatsvuka, kana ichivaima iri mumukombe, kana ichidzika zvakanaka pakunwa!
32 Ekucineni liluma njengenyoka libe lobuhlungu obubulalayo njengenhlangwana.
Pakupedzisira inoruma senyoka uye ine uturu semvumbi.
33 Amehlo akho azabona izinto ezingaqedakaliyo lengqondo yakho icabange izinto ezididayo.
Meso ako achaona zvisakamboonekwa uye pfungwa dzako dzichafunga zvakapesana.
34 Uzakuba njengomuntu ondendayo phakathi kolwandle, olele esiqongweni sensika yomkhumbi.
Uchava souya akarara pamusoro pamafungu amakungwa, kana somunhu avete pamusoro pedanda rechikepe.
35 Uzakuthi, “Bangitshayile kodwa kangilimalanga! Bangibethile kodwa kakubuhlungu! Ngizavuka nini bo ngiyodinga obunye utshwala?”
Uchati, “Vakandirova, asi handina kukuvara! Vakandirova asi handina kuzvinzwa! Ndichamuka rinhiko kuti ndigotsvakazve waini?”
